C2CNT advances to final stages of XPRIZE

C2CNT’s comprehensive solution to global warming by the electrolysis of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to a valuable product, is now one of ten finalists competing in the international Carbon XPRIZE contest.

The Carbon XPRIZE challenges competitors to convert CO₂ emissions into valuable products, with the purpose of identifying the most scalable technologies to unlock massive CO₂ reductions and economic opportunities.

At George Washington University, C2CNT discovered the inexpensive transformation of the greenhouse CO₂ into a widely useful and highly valued product. In the C2CNT process, CO₂ is directly transformed to hollow nanofibers, ‘carbon nanotubes,’ products with remarkable properties of conductivity, nanoelectronics, higher capacity batteries, flexibility, with greater strength than steel and widespread use as carbon composites. The conversion of CO₂ to pure carbon nanotubes provides the most compact form to capture CO₂ and mitigate climate change.
